The Open Journal Club

Like a book club, but for journaling. A community space to encourage the real and the raw that journaling is, but is rarely shown.

JOIN THE CLUB

Opening up means allowing yourself to be vulnerable, to be open-minded with your own thoughts and feelings without judgement.

THE OPEN JOURNAL COURSES

FAQ

We listened closely to our community to understand their biggest journaling challenges, and two clear themes emerged: not knowing where to start and struggling to stay consistent. We recognized that simply adding another lined journal to the market wouldn’t address these issues. That’s why we created the Open Journal, which comes with free access to transformative 7-day courses. These courses are designed to truly inspire and support you in discovering your unique journaling practice, ensuring that your journal doesn’t remain blank. Each course is only a week long, and we promise you’ll experience the subtle yet profound shifts that a dedicated journaling practice can bring.

Over the course of the week, you will receive a daily email from us that will guide and inspire you through the course. Each day will include a daily topic expanded upon through an inspiring thought or teaching as well as a journal prompt to guide your session.

Getting started is simple! Just select one of our courses and click "Start Now." Fill out the requested information, and you're ready to begin. Enjoy your course!

We designed our courses to meet you wherever you are in your journaling practice, even if you've never journaled before. If you’re unsure where to start, simply take our Course Quiz, and we'll guide you to the perfect starting point!
